You mean, "Remove"; or, "Detach" an individual/person from your "Ancestral" lines; as, we do not a "Tree" in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

.

That is easy ..

.

But ...

BEFORE you do ...

.

Unless you added/included them in your "Ancestral" lines, by mistake/in error ...

.

IF, they were added by another User/Patron; THEN, do your Research (ie. 'Due Diligence'); and, Make CERTAIN that, in fact, that their position in your "Ancestral" lines is NOT correct.

.

IF, you have done that; THEN ...

.

Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch;

FYI

.

Just in case you were not aware ...

.

Most new (and, some old) Users/Patrons DO NOT understand the basic nature and premise of "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', when they join in.

.

Please let me explain ...

.

We do not have our OWN "Tree" in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

.

We ONLY have "Branches" (ie. Ancestral" lines), that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

.

"Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is NOT like 'On-Line' "Websites" (eg. "Ancestry_com"; or "MyHeritage_com"; or, the like); and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes (eg, the OLD, now no longer supported, "PAF"; or, "Ancestral Quest"; or, the like).

.

We DO NOT have "Private"/"Personal" 'Trees' in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' like other 'On-Line' "Websites"; and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes.

.

We do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, the "Deceased" individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

.

"Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is built on a "Open Edit" Platform - hence, why any registered User/Patron can "Edit" (ie. Add, Delete; and/or, Change) ANY "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'. 

.

I hope this helps.
